Microsoft had its annual financial analyst meeting on Thursday, and Steve Ballmer answered questions about what the company's answer to the iPad was going to be, and whether Windows Phone 7 was going to be a part of that product strategy. He said, "We're coming . . . We're coming full guns. The operating system is called Windows." Ballmer and Microsoft so don't get it. I can't believe Steve Ballmer is making me feel sorry for Microsoft.

I'm not a big fan of Microsoft, and always enjoy seeing them squirm a bit, but this is just embarrassing. I feel really bad for Ballmer as an individual, and wouldn't be surprised to see him ousted in the near future.
